Truth is the mortal enemy of the Biden administration

I've repeatedly said that I don't like to jump on things and prefer to wait for the other shoe to drop. And drop it did.

Joseph Goebbels one said

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
We hear a lot of references to the "big lie", meaning the belief that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. But the left-wing media foists big lies upon pretty much every day and their latest was nothing short of astonishing. This is what a real Big Lie looks like.

Three illegal aliens drowned in the Rio Grande a few days ago temporally following Texas' efforts to shut down the border seeing as the Biden regime refuses to do so. The White House immediately pinned the blame on Texas and flat out said that Texas impeded the ability of the Border Patrol to rescue the victims.

Faster than the speed of light the DNC controlled media leaped into action.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) — The U.S. Homeland Security Department said Saturday that Texas denied federal agents access to a stretch of border when they were trying to rescue three migrants who drowned.

The federal government’s account came hours after U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar said the Texas Military Department and Texas National Guard “did not grant access to Border Patrol agents to save the migrants” Friday night. Mexican authorities recovered the bodies of a woman and two children Saturday across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas.

“This is a tragedy, and the State bears responsibility,” said Cuellar, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee’s subcommittee for homeland security, in a statement.

One after another the left-wing outlets spread this report.

Texas "physically barred" feds from trying to rescue migrants who drowned, officials say

That execrable POS left that tweet up for days. Not one did any of them even question the Biden Bullsh*t Machine. There were all kinds of calls on X to hold Texas Governor Greg Abbott accountable for murder.

There was just one small problem with all of this.

It was an effing LIE.

The Biden administration, in a new filing to the Supreme Court, has admitted that three migrants who drowned last week died long before Border Patrol agents sought access to the Shelby Park area from Texas officials – after the administration had blasted the Lone Star state over the incident.

The Department of Homeland Security and the White House both took aim at Texas after the deaths of three migrants, including two children, in the Shelby Park area last week. Texas had seized the area and the administration said it was refusing to grant Border Patrol access.

"Tragically, a woman and two children drowned last night in the Shelby Park area of Eagle Pass, which was commandeered by the State of Texas earlier this week," DHS said in a statement Saturday evening. "In responding to a distress call from the Mexican government, Border Patrol agents were physically barred by Texas officials from entering the area."

That statement went on to call Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s policies "cruel, dangerous, and inhumane, and Texas’s blatant disregard for federal authority over immigration poses grave risks."

The White House had been similarly scathing over the deaths on Saturday evening.

"On Friday night, a woman and two children drowned near Eagle Pass, and Texas officials blocked U.S. Border Patrol from attempting to provide emergency assistance. While we continue to gather facts about the circumstances of these tragic deaths, one thing is clear: Governor Abbott’s political stunts are cruel, inhumane, and dangerous. U.S. Border Patrol must have access to the border to enforce our laws."

Have any of you heard one word of apology from White House for this crap?

Truth requires observation and critical thinking, that is difficult for the run of the mill everyday American to deal with. Truth is mostly ignored because it’s difficult to process along with everything else in Biden’s America.
